Corner Forward survived a moment of drama when he was so nearly brought down on his way to his first success in a novice handicap hurdle off a mark of 96 at Ffos Las on Sunday in the colours of JP McManus. He did well to stay on his feet when Billy Butcher fell directly

Our horses have peppered the pin over the last two days and it’s frustrating that only one Kamille Au Kanada managed to get her head in front in a mares novice hurdle under a double penalty at Hexham on Friday. But together they earned around £25,000 in prize money which took our total for the

We headed home from Plumpton late on Tuesday with a winner and three seconds and will be returning to the Sussex track for more on Thursday.

He had a couple of niggly little issues last season but I’ve always liked him and he

BREAKING COVER and our talented conditional jockey Chad Bament completed an impressive summer treble with a pleasing victory in the valuable feature two mile Class two Chase at Kelso on Sunday. This race, with a first prize of almost £21,000, had been the plan since their previous success together at Stratford twenty-three days earlier. With

Course specialist Gore Point extended his summer of excellence with a corking success under top weight in a two-mile Class 3 Limited Handicap Chase at Newton Abbot on Monday in the colours of Mark Pendarves. He was pretty much ignored in the market as the outsider of four after a blip last time when I

As we fly through September, the National Hunt season suddenly feels just around the corner, and there’s a real sense of excitement building at Potwell as the horses step up their work ahead of the months to come. Last weekend we welcomed owners and supporters to Potwell for our annual Owners’ Day, which is always
